*Note from the Director: All actors must be willing to have open and honest conversations about religion, gender roles, trauma, society, and oppression. As a Jewish identifying person, this production is actively seeking people who identify as Jewish, as well as people who are open to learning, respecting, and appreciating the Jewish culture, religion, and perspective. One of the great themes of this show is the lesson to build and strengthen community, rather than divide it. To me, Fiddler belongs to a wider world. At its core, this is a show about love, family, community, home, and tradition.   

Shprintze & Bielke (7-13): Shprintze and Bielke, the two youngest daughters of Tevye and Golde. They witness the world and their older sisters changing around them.

Ensemble: (Any Gender expression) To play various roles to create realistic village people (seeking 3-5 additional young actors).
